General, It’s Time to Take Your Medicine

The main story is complete. Bonus chapters full of sweet moments to come!

Jiang Ning, a blind doctor, lost his sight as a child. His parents abandoned him when he was three, and he was eventually adopted by an old beggar. Whenever the old beggar went out to ask for alms, he left the blind Jiang Ning alone in a ruined temple.

It wasn’t until Jiang Ning was seven that he happened to learn the old beggar was no ordinary man. He knew martial arts and medicine. Jiang Ning had asked him to treat his eyes, but the old beggar refused, telling him to do it himself if he wanted a cure. He wasn’t going to treat anyone for free.

Jiang Ning thought the old beggar’s harshness must be why he was so destitute. He had good medical skills, yet went around begging. He must have offended someone.

Unfortunately, Jiang Ning depended on the old beggar for a place to live and didn’t dare provoke him, so he asked him to teach him medicine instead.

Learning medicine as a blind man was no easy feat, so at first he relied on touch, smell, and taste.

The first two methods were manageable, but the last brought him endless misery. Medicinal herbs and poisonous plants nearly killed him, but thankfully the old beggar never left him to die. He always pulled Jiang Ning back from the brink, and in time, Jiang Ning became immune to every poison.

Only when the old beggar died of illness ten years later did Jiang Ning learn that his eyes could never be healed. The old beggar had refused because he wanted Jiang Ning to inherit his skills…

After that, Jiang Ning lived alone, relying on his medical skills to make a living.

He thought he would spend his life as a doctor in that little village, until the day he met that man after the rain…

A general of the realm, imposing and awe-inspiring.

He was a real nuisance to be around, but the consultation fees were pretty good…

Hehehe, this is a standalone story about Jiang Ning and Gu Qinghan, the secondary couple from The Cult Leader.
